My battery changes from green to red when it reaches just under half-way. The
menu shows this as about 10v. I believe the battery runs about 12v fully
charged. Why does it show as 'red' at only 10v / half-way? How much longer
would it run for if I didn't plug the mains in?

Cheers ... Mark

Please note, the maximum capacity is 12volt, but this does not mean
6volt is the 1/2 charge. The Netbook can not work with batterie if the
power is below 9 Volt. So you Netbook is behaving quite normal.
A standard lead time is 6 hours working with one batterie charge.
You can increase this to 12 hours if you use a high-capacity batterie
from the Netbook PRO. Both batteries are same size and fit perfectly
fine in both machines. Prices for a PRO batterie are c.100 EUR on ebay,
129 eur at pulster.eu
